“YOU MIGHT BE A SAILOR IF”

 


While thinking about my Navy days, here’s a few things to ponder about being a sailor …

 

You Might Be A Sailor If:

 

You think a Rhodes Scholar is someone who knows all about a famous ship designer...

 

You think girls look "hot" in wet foul weather gear…

 

You think rum is the official state drink…

 

Your best shoes are boondockers...

 

Your car's hood ornament is a ship’s wheel...

 

Your halyards are brand new, but your belt has two splices...

 

Your bar tab equals your paycheck...

 

You use a marlinspike to break sunburn blisters...

 

You've ever traded a Dramamine for a beer...

 

You have to dress up to go to Wal-Mart…

 

You think of duct tape as a long term investment…

 

You've been involved in a bar fight over a barmaid...

 

You'll marry a girl just to claim full BAH...
